Bored so I put needle bearings in clutch and brake lever

oh boy, the markings are in the wrong direction facing downwards. Your clutch lever will seize for sure

Will they make VPCs work better?

I like it!

Just this past week I was listening to my clutch lever rattling in the breeze and was thinking about taking it apart and shimming it a bit in order to tighten things up.

Now of course mere shimming is now out of the question as it would be bush-league compared to machining the lever and installing a nice smooth bearing. Looks like the "handle" bar has been raised again....

In case you do not know, there is an anti-rattle spring (45021-86) under the lever.  Maybe yours broke or is missing.

Somewhere some guy is gonna be scratching his head wondering why he is all of a sudden selling so many bearings, and when he figures out they are being used on Harleys he'll probably jack the price up.    cool idea!! Might have to get some while they're still cheap

I have some sheilded bearings coming im going to try these , that way would not have to lube at least for a long time, i went with sheilded for less drag , i am going to do the cable section also since they are 4mm thick will be perfect fit one on each side , then stack some for the pin section will post pics when i get them .

they are 10 * 15 * 4  -
